(Teen Angst)(Abused as a child)

Bio:
Nathaniel was born with only four fingers on each hand and four toes on each foot, the smallest digit on each being missing, and green eyes that were a little brighter than was normal. Growing up, after his father walked out on the family when Nathaniel was 2, he was constantly beaten by his drunken mother. To escape the abuse he would go to the public library and spend as much time there as possible reading. Shortly after he turned 14, while his mother was beating him, his eyes flashed even brighter and tendrils of energy whipped out and wrapped around his mother, draining her of her life energy and leaving her unconscious. Revolted at what he had done, Nathaniel ran away from home, running far faster than he had ever run before. Twenty minutes later he collapsed exhausted and in tears.
The next morning, when he woke up, he discovered that he had run nearly 200 miles from home. He felt more alive than he had ever felt before; stronger, more agile, and far faster than he was before. He also discovered that all of his senses were greatly enhanced.
For the next seven months, Nathaniel made his way across the country, from his home in Oregon to New York; stealing food, clothing, and money to survive and evading the cops the best he could. Recently the doubts of rather he should have run away or not have returned, he has thought of returning home but is afraid of what his mother will do to him if he does. And as much as he fears his mother, he refuses to call or go to a run-away shelter as he believes that they take in the runaways and sell them into slave labor camps that would be worse than anything his mother could ever do to him.

Minor Psych. Problem (A.D.H.D.) -1

Bio:
Nathanial is the son of Thomas Alexander Braxton, a wealthy construction mogul in Manhattan. He was diagnosed at an early age with A.D.H.D., which was actually some of his powers forming at an early age. His powers fully manifested at age 14. With his powers he now literally bounces of walls instead of just figuratively with his A.D.H.D. Although he was from a wealthy family, Nathanial liked hanging out with the bad crowds. He joined a street gang when he was 15 and hid his powers, wealth, and identity from them; he went by the name of Tommy Braxx while in the gang. He also hid his powers and gang activity from his parents, which was easier because his family seemed to have little time for him.
Six months ago his father was killed by a crazed villain robbing a party of the cities elite. Now Nathanial is 17 and has left the gang and started using his powers for the good of humanity.

Bio:
Mateo was born in Oregon to illegal immigrants Julio and Nadia Zepeda . Growing up, after his mother was killed in a car wreck when Mateo was 2, he was constantly beaten by his drunken father. To escape the abuse he would go to the public library and spend as much time there as possible reading. Shortly after he turned 14, while his father was beating him, his eyes flashed white and he ghosted out and his father fell right through him, draining him of him life energy and leaving him unconscious. Revolted at what he had done, Mateo flew away from home. Twenty minutes later he collapsed exhausted and in tears.
The next morning, when he woke up, he discovered that he was nearly 200 miles from home. He felt more alive than he had ever felt before; stronger, more agile, and far faster than he was before. He also discovered that all of his senses were greatly enhanced.
When he finally made it home he had discovered his father had died, drowned in his own vomit. He was placed in a foster home. A few weeks later, during a fight with a bully at his new school, Mateo ghosted out again and drained the life energy of the bully. Scared and worried of the consequences of his actions, Mateo again ran away.
For the next seven months, Mateo made his way across the country, from his home in Oregon to New York; stealing food, clothing, and money to survive and evading the cops the best he could. Recently the doubts of rather he should have run away or not have returned, he has thought of returning home but is afraid of what his foster parents and the law will do to him if he does. He refuses to call or go to a run-away shelter as he believes that they will turn him over to the authorities.

Bio: The son of Samuel Guthrie (a.k.a. Cannonball) and Lila Cheney, Intergalactic Rock Star. He travelled with his mother throughout the galaxies until he was 6 before he even knew who his father was. Sam didn’t even know he had a kid until Lila showed up one day with him. When Lila left, Thomas stayed to live with his dad. He had a fairly normal childhood; well as normal as a child of a mutant and an Intergalactic Rock Star can have. He was always faster than the other kids growing up which was an aspect of his latent Mutant genes. His father taught him the value of hard work, taking responsibility for ones actions, and to stick up for those who cannot defend themselves.

His powers manifested at age 13. His powers are somewhat similar to his fathers; though he spins like a tornado and has Super Speed/Flight and natural Toughness instead of Blasting. He can also create a shield-like Psi-weapon. After his powers manifested, his father trained him in the use of his powers and X-Men Multi Style combat.

Thomas is a well rounded young adult without all the usual teen angst. He always strives to do his best, and wants to follow in his father's footsteps and someday lead a team.

Bio: Enri’ has never really been superstitious, though maybe he should be. Bad luck just seems to follow him. He was diagnosed with ADHD at an early age. He has had a minor fear of heights since he was trapped on a Billboard sign for over six hours after climbing up on a dare and the ladder he used to get up on it was knocked down by his own bad luck. He has always had a psychological need to prove himself to others and be a people pleaser. He joined the street gangs in L.A. at an early age and was always in trouble. He spent more time in Juvenile Detention Centers than out. If the Gang got busted for anything it was always Enri’ that got busted first. When his powers first appeared he managed to keep them secret from all but his closest and only friend in the Gang. At age sixteen he even managed to rob a liquor store with his powers only to be caught with stolen money two hours later. It was at this point that his parents gave up on him and kicked him out of the house. Nearly two years later he was busted again by the cops who tried to pin a Federal Murder rap on him that was committed by one of the higher ups in the gang. Enri turned States Evidence and went into Witness Protection. The Feds put him in some Podunk town in Texas to wait for the trial. The Gang found out where he was hiding and went to kill him. During the shoot out, the higher up who committed the original murder was killed as were three other Gang members and two Feds. Enri managed to escape and snuck onto a tour bus heading to New York. He still has trouble going by the name the Feds gave him and prefers to be called Enri’. He has just recently gotten out of jail in New York after spending nine months for possession of Stolen Property; thus has a criminal record under the name Mateo Vargas. The Feds keep an eye on him from time to time but have let him travel and stay wherever he wants.

Name: Grease
Secret Identity: Alexander Camden Edwards
Species: Mutagenic
Gender: Male
Hair: White
Eyes: White
Height: 3’11”
Weight: 52 lbs
Age: 17

Bio: Alexander was born with only four fingers on each hand and four toes on each foot, the smallest digit on each being missing. He also has form of Primordial Dwarfism (proportional dwarfism meaning all of his limbs and head are in proportion to his small size) and is just under four feet tall and weighs about fifty pounds. He is the only son of wealthy Pennsylvanian construction mogul Camden Edwards. All of his life, Alexander has felt a need to prove himself to others and that his small size is not a handicap; he is such a people person and hates/fears being alone. This fear as grown slightly as he feels isolated in his bubble; but he does his best to mask this fear with humor and a light heart. His mutant powers appeared shortly after his 14th birthday and he has done his best to live up to the code of being a Superhero and the examples set by Captain America and Spiderman. He is a lawfully registered Mutant and is ready, willing, and able to heed the call of a Superhero even though he is only seventeen. His parents love and support him and are behind him one-hundred percent.

His role on the team would be the “Bobby Drake/Iceman” of the X-Men; plucky, wise-crackin’, jokester {at least I hope to be able to play him that way}. He has a way of “bouncing” into the hearts of his teammates. He will forever be considered the “Kid” of the group; well at least for a very long time as his near instantaneous Healing Factor will keep him in the prime of youth for quite some time.

Why are they all so short?

I don't know. I am 6'4" and over 300 lbs but I've always liked playing the small races and short characters.

As a side note I've often been described as a giant size halfling.
